Luciano Szafir recalls complications from covid-19: “My heart didn’t beat for 15 seconds”


The actor was hospitalized and intubated in June 2021

Luciano Szafir recalled the complications of COVID-19, which took about 87% of his lung. In an interview with otalab this Tuesday 26, the actor, hospitalized and intubated in June 2021, said it is his the heart has stopped beating for fifteen seconds. The reason was a procedure induced after a Cardiac arrhythmia.

the father of Sasha Meneghel, who only had a 15% chance of surviving, revealed that he woke up surrounded by four doctors and felt chest pain. “I looked on the monitor and saw that my heart rate was 180,” he added.

“I kept looking: 180, 185, 190, 195, 200, 202 … Suddenly, the monitor emitted a ‘beep’ and I saw that straight line: my heart stopped. And then I thought: ‘It’s over, the light be turned off’. “He said.

Before the induced procedure, Szafir’s doctor held his hand and told him that he would survive but that he would “get much worse” before then. “It was the worst time because I was lucid. You feel your heart stop beating and the blood stops flowing in your veins,” he said.

At the time he already had to use ketamine (an anesthetic for horses) because morphine was in the maximum amount and was no longer effective. “I’ve never felt such pain in my life,” she said.

‘I’m alive thanks to the colostomy bag’

This happened because the artist’s intestines ruptured and became inflamed due to complications from covid-19. She had to use a colostomy bag for 10 months.

Experience has meant that Szafir received several messages from the holders of the bag. In the messages, they said they have no self-esteem for using the medical device.

It was enough for the actor to use his influence and parade with the bag on display to demystify its use Sao Paulo Fashion Week of 2021. “It’s complicated, but you live on. For me it has become a trophy. I am alive thanks to you,” he said.

The move was well received by the public, he said. “It had repercussions outside Brazil. People from Europe came to see me,” she added.
